Infocubes - TRANSACTIONAL - STANDARD - REAL TIME

<h3>Some clarity has to be brought in to these three types of CUBES.
<h5>
I am using SALES ANALYSIS & SALES BUDGET here as an example.
<h1>Assumptions & Scenario:
<h5>1. Sales Budget is prepared once a year, Division / Group / Category / Material wise (may be customerwise, but does not really matter). Once the budget is approved, it more or less remains static, with very little changes. Budgeting is done for Quantity to be sold as well as an approximate unit cost.
<h5>
2. Sales Analysis captures the actual sales in the same order Division / Group / Category / Material wise but now the quantity and the unit price are actual values.
<h5>
3. Assume that the accounting period for this organization is January to December for a calendar year, and the Sales budget is finalized and approved in November for the next Accounting year. Example, sales budget for Jan, 2010 - Dec, 2010 is finalized and approved in November, 2009.
<h5>
4. Review and fine tuning and updates to Sales budget is carried out once in three months for the next quarter. In the case in Mid March, Mid Jun, Mid Sep.
<h1>BI Requirement:
<h5>1. Actual sales figures are always compared with Sales Budget and also compared with Last years Actuals.
<h2>
Solution Scenario - I.
<h5>
Maintain Sales Budget figures in a separate INFOCUBE, FACTS being quantity and value, Dimensions being Division / Group / Category / Material . (since there is very little update to this cube, SHOULD WE CALL IT STANDARD or REALTIME or TRANSACTIONAL)
<h5>
Maintain Actual sales in another INFOCUBE, again FACTS being quantity and value, Dimensions being Division / Group / Category / Material . Because of the Data Volume, we want to update this cube on nightly basis, using DELTA. Should we call this STANDARD or TRANSACTIONAL ?
<h5>
All the reports, queries will JOIN (dont know how) both the cubes and display BUDGET and ACTUALS in adjacent collumns.
<h2>_Solution Scenario -II._
<h5>
Since the BUDGET figures and ACTUAL figures are always viewed together, create a single INFOCUBE for this department.
<h5>
FACTS being BudgetQuantity, BudgetAmount, ActualQuantity and ActualAmount. (include if you want, some computational fields to show Percentage of Variance which can also be done at the query level). DIMENSIONS remain the same as SCENARIO - I.
<h5>
You will note immediately that TWO OF THE FACTS are almost STATIC while two of the FACTS are updated everyday.
<h5>
What would you call this type of CUBE? TRASACTIONAL / STANDARD / REALTIME ?
<h5>
Difference between STANDARD and REALTIME cubes being the way the INDICES are maintained. (Hope my understanding is correct, one designed for better performance for RETRIEVAL and the other for UPDATE).
<h5>
In all the cases (Transactional / Standard / Real time) the data is moved from R/3 to PSA and then to the INFOCUBE. so why use the term REAL TIME. And cubes are always built based on Business Transactions, so why use the term TRANSACTIONAL?
<h5>
The term "Real Time" somehow conveys the idea that the CUBE Gets updated, when a transaction is Committed in R/3 database. The Help document also is Ambiguous. If the data is moved from R/3 to Data Source and then to PSA and finally reaches Infocube, then what is REAL TIME?
<h5>
I think it would benefit everyone in SAP BI domain, if these things are explained in plain english.
<h5>
I apologize for writing such a long QUESTION , but hope it will help many of you,
<h3>
Thanks,
<h5>

Can anyone tell the use of variant transaction in real time?

i have done programs using variants .. i would like to know the use of variants in real time..also about
variant transaction parameter transaction..

Whenever u r execution the program, save it. It will ask u to save it as variant. so that u can use this variant for multiple times to execute the program

How to create Real Time Infocube in BW

Hi BW Experts,
We got one requirement. We need to create one Real Time Infocube.
Our Users will enter the data in Query Analyzer later.
Please can anyone tell me the step by step.
Is there any settings we need to give..
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Creating a Real-Time InfoCube
When creating a new InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench, select the Real-Time indicator.
Converting a Standard InfoCube into a Real-Time InfoCube
Conversion with Loss of Transaction Data
If the standard InfoCube already contains transaction data that you no longer need (for example, test data from the implementation phase of the system), proceed as follows:
1. In the InfoCube maintenance in the Data Warehousing Workbench, from the main menu, choose InfoCube ® Delete Data Content. The transaction data is deleted and the InfoCube is set to inactive.
2. Continue with the same procedure as with creating a real-time InfoCube.
Conversion with Retention of Transaction Data
If the standard InfoCube already contains transaction data from the production operation that you still need, proceed as follows:
Execute ABAP report SAP_CONVERT_NORMAL_TRANS under the name of the corresponding InfoCube. Schedule this report as a background job for InfoCubes with more than 10,000 data records because the runtime could potentially be long.

Remote Extractor and Real Time Infocube for SEM BCS

Hi Experts,
I have somes doubts about the integration between SEM and BW.
There is a cycle that have the next processes:
1.- begin in R/3 with the movements in FI, CO and/or general ledgers
2.- Activate the extractors standards for replicate/extract data to BW. For example, 0FI_GL_XXXX.
3.- Configure a method for take the information from BW to SEM.
4.- My doubt begin here... For take the information from SEM to the real time infocube, where I configure? What Have I for configure?
The real time infocube, What is the proposal? Where take the data? Here, Do the remote extractor begin to apply?
Thank you very much for your collaboration.
Regards,
Jeysi Ascanio

We're using 0FI_GL_20 to read directly from FAGLFLEXT into SEM-BCS via a BI remote cube. There are some basic transformations in BI to "populate" the remote cube, then a standard Load from Data Stream in BCS to do final mappings. In the BCS workbench, just create a source data basis off the remote cube.
This works at my current project due to fairly low ECC data volumes. If you are doing any complex mapping on the Company or Fiscal Year / Period infoobjects, you may need to create a inverse mapping routine in the remote cube to transfer selection criteria. If you see messages in the monitor following a data load such as "xx,xxx of xxx,xxx records ignored", that means that you are reading too much data from ECC and it is only getting filtered on the BCS side. We had this problem with a custom extractor and adding an inverse mapping routine cut the load from ~5min to 30sec. (Basically, the custom, template-delivered, extractor only had 0FISCPER, not 0FISCPER3 and 0FISCYEAR, so we would read all 17 K4 periods into BI, map them into BCS, then BCS would throw out the unneeded periods. Unfortunately, we did not have the option to change the extractor, so this was the best approach.).
If I had large data volumes, I would use a regular BI basic cube for staging (or possibly a multi-cube with a mix of basic and realtime, depending on the load requirements to BCS).
If you use 0FI_GL_20, I would strongly recommend you implement OSS Note 1245822, or be on SAP_APPL 603.0002 or later.
Hope that helps,

Problems with Creating Real-Time InfoCube in BI 7.0

Hello, Everybody,
I try to create Real-Time cube for BW-BPS planning, but when i want to insert a key figure into real-time info cube i get error:
<i><b>Short dump has not been completely stored(too big)</b></i>
<i><b>Exception condition "Node_related_missing" raised.</b></i>
Could You help me?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Arunas Stonys

Hi Arunas,
I think you are not on SP10. you may need to implement the SP10 or advance correction as in this note:
Note 968097 - Error in BI metadata maintenance (InfoCube, MultiProvider)
Symptom
Note that the attached corrections cause follow-up errors. You must also implement the corrections from Note 971918.
You are in the maintenance dialog for an InfoCube or a MultiProvider. When you enter new key figures in this provider, a program termination occurs with message "NODE_RELATED_MISSING" in class CL_RSO_DATA_TREE.
This problem occurs because the InfoProvider does not contain a unit dimension yet and the system tries to insert the relevant unit into the unit dimension (that does not exist).
Other terms
Transaction RSA1, RSDCUBE, RSDMPRO
Reason and Prerequisites
This problem is caused by a program error.
Solution
SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI
Import Support Package 10 for SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI (BI Patch 10 or SAPKW70010) into your BI system. The Support Package is available once Note 0914304 "SAPBINews BI 7.0 Support Package 10", which describes this Support Package in more detail, has been released for customers.
In urgent cases, you can implement the correction instructions.
To provide information in advance, the note(s) mentioned above may already be available before the Support Package(s) is/are released. In this case, the short text of the note still contains the words "Preliminary version".
Thanks,
Raj

MultiProvider with two real-time InfoCubes?

Hi,
I created a multiprovider with two real-time Infocubes. I need to create a formula in FOX editor where I have to update only one InfoCube. Is it possible? If so, I am looking for syntax with InfoCube name in the formula. The KeyFigures have the same names in both InfoCubes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Vidya

Hi Pratyush,
I am using IP. I created Aggregation Level, Filter, etc. It created a characteristic "0INFOPROV" and I used that cha. to read data and to write the data. It did not work.
Here is the problem.
- We have one basic cube (history data: HCUBE) and two transactional cubes (actual data: ACUBE and plan data: PCUBE)
- Created a multiprovider (MULTI) for HCUBE, ACUBE, PCUBE
- Also created Agg level and filter
- Note: Three cubes have the same Key Figure (0Amount)
- Created a planning function and tried something like {KF, PCUBE} = {KF, MULTI} (as suggested by Andrey)
- Task is to read data from HCUBE and ACUBE and only write to PCUBE.
- I am able to read data but unable to write data.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Vidya

How to copy data from a Input query to real time Infocube

Hi All, I need some help on IP related stuff. The details are as below:
I am using two real time infocubes and one Multiprovider on them.
First Infocube u2018PRODUCTu2019 with the following Objects:
Product Group ,Product,Region ,Fiscal Year , Fiscal Year Varient ,0currency
Gross Sales
Second Infocube u2018C_PRODUCT u2018 with the following Objects:
Product Group ,Product,Region ,Fiscal Year , Fiscal Year Varient ,0currency
Gross Sales and Forecast Sales
( u2018Forecast Salesu2019 in the extra object in the second Infocube. Remaining objects are same in the both the cubes)
First Infocube u2018Productu2019 has data but the second cube does not have any data.
I have created a Multiprovider ZMulti and in that I have included these two cubes. On this Multi Provider, I have created a Aggrigation Level(The details of the aggregation level is provided in the next page).
On this Aggrigation level I have built a Input Query by which I run the report.
(In the Rows area, I have taken Product Group, Product, Region and Fical year.
In the Key Figure section, I have taken Gross Sales and Forecast Sales( which is part of the second Infocube C_Product). These two Key Figures are made Input as Input ready. And the Query is Input ready query. In the Filter, I have taken Fiscal Year Variant. )
Data available in the first cube and no data currently in the second cube. Now executed the report and report displayed information from the first cube.
EX:
Product     Product     Region          Year     Gross Sales     Forecast Sales
Group
PG01           Beer           North           2008           10000           u2026u2026u2026
PG01           Beer          South          2008          20000           u2026u2026u2026
PG01          Beer          East          2008          15000           u2026u2026u2026
The second column is empty and there is no data for the Forecast sales Key Figure in the column.
Things look OK till the above.
Now based on the Gross Sales, I am entering forecast Sales values and I need to save the entire record to the second cube.
For this in the report, I have given the Forecast sales values in the second column and right clicked the mouse and form the menu which I got, selected the u2018SAVEu2019 Option to save the data. For some time, I can see u2018Processingu2019 message and later values at u2018Forecast Salesu2019 are disappearing.
Data is not saving to the cube second cube.
====================================================
Am I missing any thing?
In the Query, Do I need to provide InfoProvider and restrict it to specific value?
In the query, Do I need to include, 0currency object?
Could you please guide me on this?
=============================================
Details of the Aggrigation level.
            I have created an Aggrigation Level ZAL_Prod on MultiProvider.
            Selected all the objects and activated.
            In the Filter, I have taken 0Fiscal Year Variant and saved it.

Restrict Forecast sales to the Plan cube in the Query.
that should fix it.

Real time transaction response - unable to locate the root element

Hi There
Has anyone integrated webMethods with Data Services 3.2 for real time transactions?
We are trying to create a real time dataflow, initiated by webMethods. We are sending the request to the Access Server which runs our
real time dataflow and does process the request. However, our return response is null. No data in the response back to webMethods. We have
tested this in soapUI, and our transaction does work. We get the correct response back.
So my question is has any experienced this issue with webMethods? Any suggestions or ideas?
Here is the error
===========================================
Path name:
     PortType: Real-time_Services
     Operation: Realtime_address_cleanse
WSDL code: S-9043
[ISS.0092.9043] Schema Error: 1

     errorCode: CONV-004
     errorMessage: [ISC.0082.9104] DataOut - unable to locate the root element
     identifier: null
===========================================
ps- xmlspy does not work as well
Please let me know
Thanks
Kurt

The problem was the generated test SOAP message from Netbeans. When built, the interface had more levels than described below. I've also had similar issues caused by bad namespaces - either not defined properly or not picking up the default namespace.

Reading data from the Real-Time Infocube

Hi,
I am using the FM RSDRI_INFOPROV_READ_RFC to read the data from the Real time Infocube..
But it reads only the Closed request. Is there anyway to read the open request data from real-time infocube via program.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Meiy

Hi,
I would assume that the function module can read the data only if its available for reporting.
May be you can try the following: You can close the request during the function module execution time and then reopen it. Not sure if this is possible.
Bye
Dinesh

Difference entre Deployment License for Standard PC's- ETS RTOS et LabVIEW Real-Time Debug Deployment License

Premier question j'ai develloper suite 2009 SP1.Avec a été fourni le Deployment License for Standard PC's- ETS RTOS sauf que c'est la version Labview Real Time 8.2 Pourquoi ce n'est pas 2009 SP1 ?
Et la deuxieme question est : qu'est ce que LabVIEW Real-Time Debug Deployment License ?
Merci

Bonjour Lunik,
Merci d'avoir posté sur le forum National Instruments.
Il n'est en effet pas normal que vous ayez la version 8.2 du module RT si vous possédez la version de Developper Suite 2010 (qui inclus LabVIEW 2009 SP1). Si vous parlez bien du module LabVIEW RT, vous ne pouvez avoir une version antérieure que celle fournie avec la suite.
Si vous aviez une ancienne version installé, je vous conseille, si ce n'est pas le cas, d'installer tous les modules dont vous avez besoin depuis les disques d'installation de la Developper Suite.
Pour votre deuxième question, je vous renvois à cette page : ici.
Ce logiciel permet de déployer une licence pour faire d'un PC une cible RT.
Cordialement,
Romain P.

Updating a Real-time Infocube

Hi All,
In one of the requirements in BPS planning.
We are using the Exit function for validating the data.
In our function module we are fetching the data and two of the fields in the cube needs to be modified in the cube after completion of the validations.
I would like to know if there is any existing functionality or Function module in BPS planning for this for updating the Real-time Info cube.
Thanks
Prathish

Try this link:
www.geocities.com/cynarad/reference_for_bps_programming.pdf
In the chapter where table xth_data is described more detailed this can be one possibility to validate your realtime IC.
Have fun,

Error "cannot load request real time data targets" for new cube in BI 7.

Hi All,
WE have recently upgarded our SCM system from 4.1 to SCM 7.0 which incorporated BI 7.0.
I am using BI 7.0 for first time and ahve the following issue:
I ceated a new infocube and data source of flat file and succesfully created transformation, and Data Transfer Process. Everything looked fine. I added flat file and checked preview and could see data. Now when I start job to load data in infocube the follwing error is shown "cannot load request real time data targets".
I checked cube type in setting in infcune is shows as Standard. When I doube clicked on error the following message showed up
You are trying to load data into a real-time InfoCube using a DTP.
This is only possible if the correct load settings have been defined for the InfoCube.
Procedure
In the object tree of the Data Warehousing Workbench, call Load Behavior of Real-Time InfoCube from the context menu of the InfoCube. Switch load behavior to Transactional InfoCube can be loaded; planning not allowed.
I did not understand what it is meant and how to set changes. Can someone advice and follow me through.
Thanks
KV

Hi Kverma,
Real-time InfoCubes can be filled with data using two different methods: using the transaction for entering planning data, and using BI staging, whereby planning data cannot be loaded simultaneously. With Real time cube you can select the method you want to use for update as
Real Time data Target can be loaded With Data; Planning not allowed &
Real Time data Target can be Planned; Data loading not allowed
You can change this behaviour by right clicking on cube and selecting Change real time load behaviour and select first option. You will be able to load the data then

Datasource:Real time enabled

Hello everybody,
Hope to have your valuable suggestions on this
1:Is it possible for me to copy a standard FI datasource .I need to have 0FI_AR_4 ,which is currently active and in use ,datasource real time enabled
2:I do not want to go to roosource table and modify the table to make this real time enabled.Is it possible for me to create a new datasource(not generic since i would have to create view/query etc) copying this 0fi_ar_4 and have it real time enabled
3:I tried RSDS transaction.however its not helping me to copy or create
regards
savi

Andreas/Michael,
I would like to add a different dimension to this topic mentioned by you.
Please do correct if wrong.
<b>Problem -</b>
The FI line item delta DataSources can identify new and changed data only to the day because the source tables only contain the CPU date and not the time as time characteristic for the change.
This results in a safety interval of at least one day.
and thats why we cannot enable this datasource as Real Time;however please refer this note below and help me understand how would this fit the aforementioned bill.
Note 485958 - BCT-FI: Extracting FI line items up to the current date
<b>Solution</b>
Due to a customized setting, it is now possible for the FI line item extractors to read the data up to the current date during the delta runs.
During the next delta run, the data is then read again from the day when the previous extraction was called, up to the current day of the call for the new extraction.This means that the delta extraction of the data always occurs with time intervals overlapping by one day.
<u>The delta calculation by the ODS objects ensures that the repeatedly extracted data does not cause duplicate values in the InfoCube.</u>
Hope it Helps
